A fantastic dancer, Koena was trained with Mamata Shankar ballet troupe for 12 years and that shows on her dance numbers on the screen.She initially gained prominence through winning Gladrags magazine's Mega Model Contest in 2002, Koena’s first break in Bollywood was an item number in Ram Gopal Verma’s ‘Road’; the song “Khullam Khulla” became a big craze. Then thsi fame and of beauty surgeries big names in bollywood like Susmita, Shilpa etc made her to opt a nose surgery.

Nose surgery was done to make her pert nose look sharpen.It was alright until the surgery got over. Then the bone next to the nose started swelling up and then a scar started developing on the nose. Her cheeks looked swollen. Since she was bony, it was very obvious. It is also reported she undergone lip surgery to make her lips look big.

But now she tells "I wish people learn from my mistake. Plastic surgery is the worst kept secret of our industry, of any industry… Bollywood, Hollywood. But it’s a huge gamble. Parents go to doctors with 16-year-olds and say, “She wants to become a model or an actress, but she has some baby fat, can we do this surgery to make her look perfect?”. But it’s so scary, ask me! "

Girls and their parents who wish to take up a beauty plastic surgeries should learn a lesson from Koena Mitra's nose disaster. Tara Reid has similar experience with her breast implant.

Google SMS channels thrash MyToday?

MyToday and SMSGupshup are the ony players in the informative group SMS field. They offer SMS free daily on various topic and their revenue generated by putting oneliner ads at the bottom of such SMS. MyToday really lead the rally with 4 million subscribers and 11 millions subscriptions with a very simple website MyToday.com. Gupshup came second in the field and now the Internet giant Google also entered into SMS channels.

Google SMS Channels is a service that enables channels/groups on SMS. It's a free service that enables you to get premium content published by Google publishing partners, Google popular products (Google News, Blogger and Google Groups) and websites with RSS/Atom support for free. SMS Channels allows you to create your own channel(s) to publish content that other users can subscribe to. You don't pay anything to send or receive messages using Google SMS Channels. When you post a message to your channel, all the members of your channel get the message forwarded for free.

The main difference is that the Google allows the user to create their own channel and put it forward for the subscribers and also you can configure your interested channels online visiting to Google SMS channels. Hence you don't need to spend even a single sms to configure the sms channels.

I'm using MyToday from last 2 years and the quality of the service is not so good as it was earlier. This could be due to infrastructure problem. Google SMS channels are very systematic and it took hardly 5 minute to register, verify, search and subscribe to the services. Hence to service in this race both MyToday and SMSgupshup might have to change their complete strategies. Let us wait and see.

Pakistan- a nuclear threat to the world!

The most immediate nuclear threat does not lie in North Korea, or Iran it is in Pakistan. Also we should remember that Pakistan is the only Islamic nation which is declared nuclear weapon nation. Pakistan, slowly being swallowed by the Islamic extremists of Taliban, soon it could completely be controlled by forces allied with al-Qaida and other groups. Which will make them get access to its nuclear technology.

Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of the Pakistani nuclear bomb, who confessed to having been involved in creating international network of nuclear weapons technology proliferation from Pakistan to Libya, Iran and North Korea is now free. Political drama of Pakistan made him free citizen recently who is one of the most wanted by the world. It also shows what is Pakistan's response to the world's demand.

Taliban in Pakistan have strengthened their hold over the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and the North-West Frontier Province since Zardari became president. If you observe recent developments, it seems Pakistan is going to be another Afghanistan. Hence Pakistan soon could put the nuclear weapons in the hands of a government tied to terrorist networks. If al-Qaida allies were to come to power in Pakistan, you can not just imagine the threat that the world pose. The threat is not only for India or USA, but the whole world will suffer.

Even though a huge fund is flowing to Pakistan from US, US have no control over Pakistan. The western world with the leadership of USA went to war to remove the threat of special weapons in the hands of Saddam Hussein. Now time has come to do the same with Pakistan before the terrorists gets control of nuclear weapons in Pakistan. I could be only option lies with the world to remove threat of nuclear terrorism of Pakistan.

Inflation calculation in India- never gives true picture

Every media highlights downturn in inflation in recent days. It could be due the peak level we have witnessed in last few months, also due to the political reason- approaching general election. Today's news papers read "inflation at 6 years low at 2.4%". This could make you feel the prices have gone down and no need to spend more. Still it means the prices index that too wholesale price index is at 2.4% higher than what it was one year ago. Then what does the explanation "inflation gone down" means? It just means the rate of increase compared to last last week has gone down. But there is rate of increase. So until when there is +ve inflation (simply- inflation) you have to open your wallet more than what you were doing last year. Only when inflation is -ve (deflation) we can tell prices has gone down. Both are not good economics. There should be a stability.

With this come to the method of calculation of inflation in India. In India we use wholesale price index - WPI. It covers about 435 commodities in 3 groups- 1- primary articles, 2- fuel, power and lubricants, 3-manufactured products. These are given weightage for calculation as 22.03%, 14.25% and 63.75% respectively. WPI is calculated as point to point raise in prices i.e. comparing recent WPI to a point of time in past, that is a year ago. This method has two disadvantages- as it is calculated year to year basis, the seasonal prices can mislead the calculation, secondly, most important disadvantage is as it is based on WPI, it will not give true picture of consumer prices.

As in other countries India should also adopt CPI for measurement of inflation. A common man won't buy goods at whole sale price. Whole saler won't transfer complete downturn of price to consumer. Hence whole sale price index is a way of misleading the people. Even the WPI of some commodity drops at 20% CPI hardly drops 10%. So even when the inflation rate based on WPI is at 2.5%, inflation based on CPI could be 10%. In January, when the inflation was at the rate 3.03%, CPI for working class was 10.45%, for agricultural labour it was 10.62% and for rural labourers it was at 11.35%. Think how we are made fools!!

It is missionary terrorism

If we are blaming on Islamic terrorism of Taliban there is also another kind of terrorism. If Islamic terrorism is against the people of another religion or culture and aimed at destroying those followers. But another kind of terrorism I'm going to tell is against the humanity, against the belief, against the religion, against the culture. Yes, if you would have guessed you are right. It is Christian terrorism. Missionaries are the regulators of such terrorism.

Sanatana Dharma- Hindu Dharma and Hinduism is becoming the victim of this terrorism. Missionaries are busy in forcibly converting Hindus and to deconstruct Hindu society by waging a psychological war. Instead of peaceful co-existing with other religions as millions in India already do, they attempt to decimate all other religions through by conversion in the name of charity.

Missionaries funded by Western churches and nations often bribe local officials to cover up their activities. Missionaries operate in India under the guise of “charity” efforts when in fact they are simply “buying” converts through gifts and material items. Joseph Cooper of the United States carried out missionary activities for 11 years in India before he was expelled after being an accomplice to Pastor Sam Benson in the raping a 12 year old Hindu girl. If you think Christian Missionaries are peaceloving organisations you are wrong Christian militant groups in Northeast India busy in threatening the freedom and challenging the well-being of other religions. t is primarily due to those who want to make the whole region into a separate Christian state at the expense of those who would prefer to follow their own indigenous and Hindu cultures.

It is painfully obvious that political leaders, westernized media pundits, and the bureaucrats in India lack the requisite social and political knowledge, and philosophical skills to understand the devious activities of the church. They lack a firm national, religious, cultural commitment. They are driven to extreme and idiosyncratic decision by the lack of historical context of their judgments.

Vijay Malya, Tippu sword and Gandhi Memorabilia

Vijay Mallya won five heritage items that belongs to Mahatma Gandhi steel-rimmed spectacles, a pair of sandals, a Zenith pocket watch, an eating bowl and a plate in an auction by AntiquorumAuctioneers in New York for $1.8 million. Indian government tried its best to stop the auction and also offered to purchase these at the reserve price as it can't participate in an auction. After rejecting the conditions put by James Otis Indians lost hope of bringing these things back to India. But the most passionated business man Vijay Mallya brought them back to India.

Few years back in 2004 Mallya had brought sword that belongs to Tippu Sultan from an auction in London fro Rs 1.5 crores. At that time it was considered as a political drama as he was leading Janata Party in election. Now it is completely dead and there is no sign of bringing it back to active politics. Even though he used the sword for his campaign it did not do any magic. He could not make his party win even a single assembly seat.

Now winning of auction of Gandhi memorabilia can not be just considered as a symbol of status. It is now attached to patriotism. Janata party is not there in politics. Mallya is always welknown for his fashionable habits. From horse race to Kingfisher bikini callender he is always shinmes as a business celebrity. Gandhiji was against alcohol. He always used to tell India should be alcohol free. But the liquor money is now used to bring Gandhi memorabilia back to India!!

Family politics: now it is BJP term

It was one thing which made bjp distinguished from other political parties was not involving in hereditary or family politics like Congress. BJP always opposed hereditary political play of congress and JDS, also made this matter as a campaign issue. BJP always condemned Nehru-Gandhi(not Mahatma Gandhi) family for making politics a family business. They used to tell even a dog from Nehru family will be accepted a Congress leader. Rahul Gandhi or Sachin Pilot like youngsters are leaders of the party just because of their care of addresses. Yeddyurappa named Janathadal secular party as party of father and son. That is true too. Father H D Dewe Gauda is the national president, son Kumaraswamy is a state chief, another son Revanna is district leader, daughter in law Anita is an MLA, another daughter in law Bhavani will enter soon. So BJP had campaign tool.

Now? BJP lost a campaign tool. B Y Raghavendra, son of Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa; Shivakumar Udasi, son of C M Udasi; Shantamma, sister of state minister Sriramulu; Ramesh Katti, Brother of Umesh Katti are given ticket to contest in lokasabha polls. Let me ask a question, will you recognise any of them if I remove 'son of' kind of addresses? Nobody knows who are they by their names, even the party workers. Yeddyurappa promised in front of the media that his son should not contest at any cost. I did not see his reaction after the ticket given to his son. Any way, he first is a politician, later a BJP leader, then a CM. Criticisers tell- being a young party BJP had no room to play family politics. Now time has come for leaders to introduce their family to politics. Family politics comes into picture only whena party is in power. BJP is in power now in Karnataka. So leaders wants their family to share that power.

Even today I admire BJP for its national level leaders not to play family politics. L K Adwani could have made their children head of the party somewhere. Sushma swaraj could have easily braught her whole family to politics. Late Pramod Mahajan could make his brother a leader, but nobody from their family in politics. They never encouraged family politics. BJP had, has batchular leaders. Narendra Modi can never bring his family to politics. There are many leaders who came from RSS back ground dedicated their life and family to the party and to the country. They had strong motive lead the country. People like me want to see this original BJP again.
